AI Explained: Lessons from a Physician-CIO on AI Governance
In healthcare, AI decisions and patient outcomes are woven from the same fabric. What makes it distinct is that the people setting the governance rules are often the same ones using the tools at the bedside.
Join Stacey Johnston, MD, Chief Information and Digital Execution Officer at Beacon Health System and practicing hospitalist, for a candid conversation about governing, deploying, and measuring AI in a high-stakes clinical environment, and what those lessons mean for health systems where lives depend on getting it right.
What you'll learn:
- How regulatory and clinical accountability shaped a governance framework that treats AI approval as a structured, deliberate process.
- How practicing medicine reshapes which AI tools get deployed, from ambient documentation to in-basket messaging to discharge summarization.
- What an ROI-first mandate actually requires, from governance councils and concrete thresholds to a monitoring window before any tool scales.
